Happy Birthday Hannah!

Things have been rather unsettled for me over the last couple of weeks, as my lovely husband has been really poorly in hospital. Things seem to be settling down a litle now and I am trying to catch up with things I should have been doing.

Today it's my lovely niece Hannah's birthday. I only managed to make her card this afternoon, so I am blogging it so she can at least see it on her birthday, even if she doesn't have it in her hands!  You can click on the picture to get a closer look!


I can't believe Hannah is already a young woman, it seems no time at all since I saw her in the hospital just after she had been born. Where did all those years go?

The colours haven't come out too well in this picture as I had to use flash, the colours are more purples and plums. The border and dancing lady are Lost Coast Designs stamps, the birds are Tim Holtz and Inkylicious, the lady's face is a Cherry Pie stamp and the Secret Garden words are a Jo Capper Sandon Stampotique design.

    Good to see you back! It's beautiful card, and I have a border just like that one, that a very good friend gave me for Christmas!
    I love the mixture of the birds with the figure, it's a lovely idea.
    Take care of your OH, but remember to take care of yourself too, hugs Judith xx
